Library updates (inotify) not picked up on NFS share #69

Using v0.19 on Fedora 14, it appears, so far as I can tell, that library updates are not picked up as I would expect when the music library resides on an external source (read-only NFS share), changes to the library are not pickup up at all during server running, only on server restart.

I have a similar setup, with forked-daapd running in an Ubuntu VM, serving music from a Solaris NFS share. I've looked around for a while, but there are no real clean solutions that can fire the necessary inotify events by polling, so preferably forked-daapd should provide an option that allows for polling instead of inotify events.

At present I feel that forked-daapd shows promise, but this lack of capability is a barrier for me to adopt.
